We have reached the stage in the political cycle where both sides deploy the post sticks-and-stones strategy commonly known as, "No, YOU are!"

Two weeks of that followed by, "I'm rubber and you're glue. Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you."

Then you've got a series of double and triple dog dares, followed by one or more candidates' tongues being frozen to a flagpole.

Then Election Day.

Upon conclusion, we can do the postmortem on who did what wrong, indiscriminately assign blame, and can then commence universally hating on the
winner.

That is why we should judge people by a moral standard, which allows us to know the truth by looking at their fruits. We also have history and the
past as a guide. History is there to learn from it so we don't repeat the same mistakes.

It seems that most of the reported political violence (a limitation in info) has been around the Trumpet's public appearances. In those moments of
confrontation, the PHYSICAL assaults are his supporters attacking dissidents, primarily of color, but anyone not agreeing that the Trumpet is a
worthy. (He most defintely is NOT.)
So, I call BS promulgated by baseless hopes.

The thread is about the comparison of tactics between many liberals, brown-shirts and the Jesuit order. It is also a lesson about history. The thread
isn't about Trump. Its about becoming aware of the tactics used on the american people. And how it ties in with past events throughout history and the
results that happened after those events.

By them calling Trump a Nazi and his supporters little Brown Shirts, they're doing the same thing that Goebbels, who was the minister of
propaganda, that Adolf and all those boys did. Because they demonized the Jews, the intellectuals, the communists, the gypsies, the homosexuals --

So are we just going to ignore the fact that Trump's ENTIRE campaign has been about demonizing "others"?

It's fun how the right likes to adopt this victim complex even though all negative media attention to him was brought on by him and his own
words.

. . .brought on by him and his own words. . .being twisted into lies by the media that needed something to be outraged over.

Funny, because it's conservatives who want to ban an entire religion from America which is ironic because America was founded on religious freedom. Oh
conservatism and irony go together like peanut butter and jelly!

If they include themselves in the group of criminal illegals and terroists that is their problem for believing propagandists and the biased media
misrepresenting Trump's actual statements and positions.

Well I'm glad they have you, a non-muslim/hispanic, to tell them that Trump wasn't characterizing all of them. That's SOOO believable.

What are you talking about? You don't have to be a Hispanic or muslim to understand that Trump was specifically referring to the terrorists and
illegals. And furthermore, if that's your logic then black liberals no longer have the right to tell white Conservatives that we're racist, you know,
since they're not white Conservatives.

Equating the suppression of the Elite's opponents to FREELY EXPRESS THEMSELVES, with violence against the Trumpet is an overstatement.
It appears that they are fighting with cops who are advancing with full riot gear to remove them UNCONSTITUTIONALLY.
Aligning the Trumpet with political suppression is contrary to your statement. Violence and potential BAD outcomes are always present in these
confrontations.
Listen to this poop head from Info Wars. Do what is demanded on you by authorities and sue them later?
Is that an anti-freedom statement or not?
(www.youtube.com...)
Conform or die?
Blah.
Freedom of Assembly and Freedom of Association are freaking guarantees. So imagine the guarantee on that new TV was actually nothing but an arbitrary
standard. My reaction would be anger. I do not know yours. I most likely would not be violent in reaction. If they sent a cop, armed to the teeth, to
inform me that any action I took to assert MY legal rights are being truncated, I would not act passively.
And why should I, if indeed I am brave?
This info wars shmuck says cave in. If I remember his boss's actions, it isn't even consistent with their overarching theme of demanding your rights
about anything gun related or property issues They have actively supported some of the crazies who do ARMED confrontations with authority.
Nobody has their hands clean. That does not mean that they are all equal in getting dirty.
Go back to 1968 and compare.
This is some really minor stuff.
